Church Tryst

my new guy and I

*play handsies in the back pew. . . 

the preacher drones on


*for some people this means mutual caressing of 
the fingers and palm of your partners hand 
and  can actually be a very engaging activity!

Haven't seen this one before Andrea. Congrats on your HM. I can identify. I was notorious for writing notes back and forth during boring sermons. Hugs, Connie

Ha...my favorite thing about church is my wife running her fingernails up and down my arm...;) This is like a senryu should be. Good one! And those poems were The Flood of 2011 and Nameless Blame, but you already visited those...pretty sure you did. I have some to post but I'm not really finding the time right now...gotta run..bye,bye

Nope, never! Sad, yes-no?... as far as replying to comments go if I actually want people to notice I just start another comment (because no one gets notified if someone replies to your comment). Someday this "handsies" might be tried... but for now I'm a Lone Wolf... lol.

Yes, I usually don't do comments like this but this is one time I will keep doing it just for one under this one poem. Sorry for you, lone Wolf. Guess what? I once dated a native american named John Lone wolf. I wonder what happened to that guy. He found me very"frivolous."
